A Chinese national who killed a Kilkenny postmaster following a post office raid is an asylum seeker who said he had no money, could not get a work visa and was suffering from depression, the Central Criminal Court at Dublin has heard.

I did not mean it. Mistake. I thought the safety was on,”

“I was thinking about a robbery because I cannot get over my depression. I did not want to do it.”

He had brought the gun from Belfast for 200 euro and fixed it using superglue the court heard.

“I did the robbery for two reasons. The first is the lack of concern about me and the second one is I wanted money.”

“I don’t get an allowance, I can’t get a working visa,”

“ I want to say that the garda don’t care about me at all or about asylum seekers.”

I'm glad this chink was handed a life sentence. May he rot in prison for the rest of his filthy life.

On the take away menu:

No 9 Nine months for involuntary slaughter.

No 5 The race card - only 5 months inside as he's Asian and therefore
i\nnocent

No 3 Egg flied Lice and Chop Suey

No 23 23 months if found guilty of murder, early release for good behaviour because Chinese murderers are under-represented in the community with free grant of nationality as a bonus on release from the bridewell.

I'm glad this chink was handed a life sentence. May he rot in prison for the rest of his filthy life.

It's just a pity that there's no law to make the criminals home country, in this case China, pay for his prison costs. It must cost the Irish taxpayer a fortune to pay for all the foreign criminals here.
